Burn Fat All Day

Don’t worry. This is not about pumping more iron in the gym nor about doing all those cardiovascular exercises.

Instead, here we are going to talk about simple activities apart from your regular workout, which do make a lot of difference between you being a chubby chap or a lean dude. A combination of what you eat, when you eat, when you sleep, alongside your usual workout each day determines the shape of your body. Here is what you need to do throughout the day to melt that excess fat.

Build muscles & reduce fat

This one is probably the best way of reducing body fat. Most people have this fear that they will get bulkier if they do power lifting. Well to set one thing straight let me tell you- muscle mass is inversely proportional to your body fat. In simple terms if you build more muscles it will boost your metabolic rate, which in turn will result in lesser overall fat percentage.

Watch your diet

You must have heard this one before. Most trainers and health experts tell you to eat food high in protein and avoid oily food, rice, red meat, and many more. Well all that is right but what you really need to do is break your eating habits. This simply means instead of consuming 2-3 heavy meals you should try and split that into portions and eat about 6 small meals each day. By these frequent and yet short meals would do is speed up your metabolic rate, which in turn will burn more calories than usual.

Try and be hydrated- always

Drinking lots of water throughout the day is another thing that you can easily do. Not only will it keep you hydrated but it also assists in shedding the extra weight around your waistline. It also weakens your appetite which means you won’t feel hungry.

Go sleep & wake up slim

Not many people are aware but its true- you do burn a lot of calories even while sleeping. The reason behind those big bellies of our Desi men has a lot to do with this habit of eating hard and sleeping at night. If you are someone who is regular at the gym or even if you aren’t, this habit of having dinner and sleeping right after will definitely hamper your health. Ideally the last meal for the day should be at least 2 hours before you sleep. Whether your call it dinner or supper, it should be really light and include soups, green leafy vegetables and other food items that are high in fiber content. By doing so, your stomach will be filled with food that is low in calories and when you wake up in the morning, you would have already burned more calories than what you consumed.

Workout schedule

Usually it’s the trainer’s job to make your work-out schedule and change it with time but just to explore your body and muscles it won’t be a bad idea if you do it yourself. Try changing exercises and observe which one works best for you. Now the question which many people ask is- how do I know which workout is yielding me the best results? Well the results can be easily observed by how tired, exhausted, and bulkier you feel after a particular workout.

Feels good, doesn’t it? You don’t have to workout for hours in the gym to shed that extra bit of fat. Other than your usual workout, all you got to do is- eat, drink, and sleep right & after sometime that beer belly will look more like the tummy of a belly dancer!
